The City Council of Webster City will hold its second regularly-scheduled meeting of July tonight at City Hall, 400 Second Street, Webster City.

This meeting begins at 6 p.m.

The primary matter on the short agenda is a resolution asking the Council to approve details of the series 2025 general obligation bonds, in the amount of $2.82 million to pay for street repairs, capital equipment for the city’s water plant, sanitary and storm sewer repairs, and sidewalk improvements. All of these projects have been previously approved by Council. The bonds are effectively a loan to the City of Webster City to pay for them. The loan will be repaid by the city, with interest, over 18 years, from 2027 through 2044.

These are general obligation bonds, secured by the City’s authority to levy and collect taxes, rather than revenue bonds, which are tied to a stream of income from rates paid for municipal services such as electricity, water or wastewater treatment. Bonds like these are used to pay for a city’s everyday requirements to maintain the city in a state of good repair.

The Council will also consider a second reading of a revision to ordinances concerning definitions related to adult entertainment, requested by the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa. If passed, the measure passes to a third and final public reading before it can be adopted by the Council and incorporated into the City Code.

The Council will also hear a request from St. Thomas Aquinas Church to hold its annual auto show Saturday, October 11, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The church is seeking permission to temporarily close Des Moines Street between Water and Bank streets for the show, which will raise funds for a youth trip in 2026.

All City Council of Webster City meetings are open to the public. Anyone wishing to address the Council may do so for up to five minutes without formally placing an item on the Council agenda.
